25 So they said, “You have kept us alive! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s slaves.” 26 And Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt valid to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; (A)only the land of the priests [a]did not become Pharaoh’s.
27 Now Israel [b]lived in the land of Egypt, [c]in Goshen, and they (B)took possession of property in it and (C)were fruitful and became very numerous.
